路加福音 9:56-57 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 9:51-56

This passage of story we have not in any other of the evangelists, and it seems to come in here for the sake of its affinity with that next before, for in this also Christ rebuked his disciples, because they envied for his sake. There, under colour of zeal for Christ, they were for silencing and restraining separatists: here, under the same colour, they were for putting infidels to death; and, as for that, so for this also, Christ reprimanded them, for a spirit of bigotry and persecution is... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 9:57-62

We have here an account of three several persons that offered themselves to follow Christ, and the answers that Christ gave to each of them. The two former we had an account of in Matt. 19:21. I. Here is one that is extremely forward to follow Christ immediately, but seems to have been too rash, hasty, and inconsiderate, and not to have set down and counted the cost. 1. He makes Christ a very large promise (Luke 9:57): As they went in the way, going up to Jerusalem, where it was expected... read more

William Barclay

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 9:49-56

9:49-56 John said to Jesus, "Master, we saw a man casting out demons in your name; and we stopped him because he does not follow with us." Jesus said to him, "Don't try to stop him, for he who is not against us is for us." When the days that he should be received up were on their way to being completed he fixed his face firmly to go to Jerusalem. He sent messengers on ahead. When they had gone on they went into a village of the Samaritans to make ready for him; and they refused to... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 9:57-62

9:57-62 As they were journeying along the road, a man said to Jesus, "I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus said to him, "The foxes have dens; the birds of the air have places to roost; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." He said to another man, "Follow Me! Lord," he said, "let me go first and bury my father." He said to him, "Let the dead bury their dead; but do you go and tell abroad the news of the kingdom of God." Another man said to him, "Lord, I will... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 9:56

For the son of man ,.... Meaning himself, in his state of humiliation: is not come to destroy men's lives ; the word "men's" is omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions: and both words, "men's lives", are left out in the Arabic version: but to save them ; as they might easily observe, by his casting out devils from the bodies of men, and healing all sorts of diseases: and therefore, though it was agreeably to the legal dispensation, and the times of Elijah, to punish... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 9:57

And it came to pass, as they went in the way ,.... From one village of the Samaritans, to the other; though if this is the same history related in Matthew 8:19 it was as Christ went from Capernaum to the sea side, in order to go to the other side of it; and must be inserted here, without regard to the order of time: a certain man said unto him ; if the same as in Matthew, he is there said to be a "Scribe"; Lord, I will follow thee, wheresoever thou goest . The Arabic and Ethiopic... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:56

And they went to another village - Which probably did entertain them; being, perhaps, without the Samaritan borders. The words, Ye know not of what spirit ye are; for the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them, are wanting in ABCEGHLS-V, and in many others. Griesbach leaves the latter clause out of the text. It is probable that the most ancient MSS. read the passage thus: But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not of what spirit ye are. And they went to... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 9:57

A certain man - He was a scribe. See on Matthew 8:19-22 ; (note). It is probable that this took place when Christ was at Capernaum, as Matthew represents it, and not on the way to Jerusalem through Samaria. read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 9:37-62

The secret of successful work. We saw that the Transfiguration was the result of prayer; but it was not the end of the prayer. This was preparation for further service. The glory is not the end , but only an incidental accompaniment, of devotedness of spirit. It is work for God , further service in his kingdom, which is the aim of all means of grace. And now these verses bring out in different aspects the secret of successful work. Let us notice I. SUCCESSFUL WORK ... read more
